thereuare Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Based upon current rates i think you're going to have to raise your maximum bid or lower your star rating expectations. To give it a try with your parameters above:At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* MTE...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTW...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* UM/CPS...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTS and UM/CPS...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and Downtown...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* MTE and MTW and MTS and UM/CPS and Downtown...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

fali3 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have a few questions. I am willing to wait as close as possible to the date of travel to get a room if I think I can find a good deal. Can the prices go much higher at this point? I am willing to increase my bids or try a 3 star. Should I keep waiting and rebidding 4* and maybe bump my max price up to 180 or 200? I know you can't tell me if the prices will drop, but I have no problem getting a hotel close to the airport as a last resort. I would love staying in the city though. From what you have seen in the past do I have a good chance of getting a 4* around what I want to pay as the date gets closer? Thanks again. Link to comment

fali3 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Sorry. Yes I did. I'm not giving up. You just mentioned that you thought I should raise my bid. I will keep bidding like you suggested just wanted to know if you thought I just do something else. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Can the prices go much higher at this point? Sure they can... but eventually they could stop going higher because the hotels could sell-out; then there are no rooms availalble at any price!I am willing to increase my bids or try a 3 star. Should I keep waiting and rebidding 4* and maybe bump my max price up to 180 or 200? This is something only you (and those you're traveling with) can decide. It has a lot to do with your budget, what type of hotels you're accustomed to staying in, etc.I have no problem getting a hotel close to the airport as a last resort.And commute into the city? If so, which airport? Regardless of which airport, this is not really recommended, but which airport you're refering to will determine the reason why it's not recommended.From what you have seen in the past do I have a good chance of getting a 4* around what I want to pay as the date gets closer? As you eluded, i don't know if price will go up or down between now and your stay, but i will say that hotel rates are currently high, so it doesn't look as if the hotels are hurting for business and they will all suddenly give their rooms to the opaque providers and fire sale prices. Do you currently have a back-up reservation, if so, where and how much?
